What does getting clipped mean?
I didn't know it until it happened to me, and it sucks so hard.
It means that your clipboard is modified to write someone's address when you copy a text of 34 chars starting with a 1 or a 3, with other changes that make it only change it in the situations when you are copying a BTC or any other address.
Example here:https://streamable.com/j15ow1
That makes that when you will copy an address to make or receive a payment, you will copy the attackers address, and you will send the money to him. The guy that clipped me stole almost 700$ in 3-4 days.
How to remove it:
I was getting sick with it because I scanned everyhting with MalwareBytes and nothing changed, but @Bigboislave2 found me a solution
